PREMIER LEAGUE NEW KIT SPECIAL: The Strips Your Team Will Be Wearing In 2013-14

In the past you could expect your average Premier League team to at least have a home strip for two seasons, but these days it seems more sides are releasing more kits on an annual basis.
For example, Borussia Dortmund had three home strips for the 2012/13 campaign, and while no Premier League outfit has ventured into that territory (yet) you can still expect some top flight clubs to release three new kits every year.
To help keep on top of all the latest designs (including the good, the bad and the ugly) isoccerentertainment will bring you all the latest new strips you can expect to see during the 2013/14 Premier League season.

Arsenal

AWAY KIT
Something needs to help kick start Arsenal's bid for silverware, and if it isn't big money signings then looking back on a previous successful period may prove a little more lucky.
The Gunners are in their final season with Nike and before the partnership ends after 20 years, the American manufacture has looked back on arguably the club's greatest moment during that period - the 'Invincibles' of 2003/04 - for this season's away kit.
The new strip looks very similar to the number worn by the likes of Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires during the season when the Gunners went unbeaten, and Arsene Wenger will hope that this number can once again make the north London side challengers for the Premier League crown.
With the home kit poised to remain the same as last season, this is set to be the final offering from Nike before Puma takeover in a record £30m-a-year deal and we think the fans will be take kindly to the designer's smart last strip.

Old times: Villa's home kit is reminiscent of their 1981 title-winning season

HOME KIT
Villa switched from Nike to Macron before last season, and the initial results were pleasing. Macron's continental design was received well by the Villa faithful, and this season's home shirt follows the same suit.
It is somewhat similar to Villa's 1981 title-winning shirt, with a striped collar and all-blue sleeve and side. And what's better for Villa fans - Christian Benteke has been showcasing it.
Villa have gone for a more slim-fit design than last term, with their traditional white shorts and claret and blue socks completing the kit.
Home kit cost: £46.00
Home kit verdict: 8/10

Split strip: The away kit may split opinion at Villa Park

AWAY KIT
Now, this is sure to split opinion right down the middle at Villa Park. The chessboard-like away strip is eye-catching to say the least, and surely one to get used to over time.
The more you stare at it, the better it looks, which is a good sign. It's reminiscent of many kits on the continent, but the design is something rarely used in the upper realms of English football.
You'll either love it or hate it, but isn't that what new kits are all about? Marks are deducted however for having an away kit that contains half the colours of the home shirt.

Cardiff

Vivid: Puma unveiled their new Cardiff City home strip for the club's maiden Premier League season earlier this summer, though fans were quick to criticise the two-tone red colour

HOME KIT
And it just gets worse for Cardiff fans. If last year's shock transformation from blue to red in the home shirt was bad enough, The Welsh club's otherwise tidy black shorts have turned the same way too.
Worse still, the red shorts are not even the same shade as the shirt, making the strip a sea of two-tone madness.
It's a shame because the use of another shade of red as just trim would have looked quite neat, but this attempt from Puma doesn't make the cut.
Credit to the German manufacture for trying something different but aside from having Premier League badges, we can't see this strip proving memorable for Bluebirds fans.
Home kit cost: £42
Home kit verdict: 4/10

Chelsea

True Blues: (from left) David Luiz, Gary Cahill, Fernando Torres and Oscar modelled the new Chelsea home kit

HOME KIT
It seemed fitting that Chelsea released a strip with gold trim last season having won the Champions League in 2012.
But despite another European triumph in the Europa League, the Blues have gone back to basics and resorted to a standard blue home strip with white trim for the new campaign.
Subtle changes also see the kit revert to a v-neck design, while the club crest which was blue and gold last term, goes back to its more common four-colour design.
The west London club have a decent track record when it comes to releasing smart home kits, and this is no different, even if it is a bit expensive. Certainly one that will look good down King's Road.

AWAY KIT

Adidas went back to basics with the home kit to great effect and they've continued their good design streak with Chelsea's away colours. 
Plain white, with blue details on the collar, stripes and cuffs, with a simple but attractive horizontal blue and red stripe across the chest. 
Unlike many kits these days, Adidas haven't cluttered the strip with fancy details and 'special' touches, instead going for simplicity. 
The result is a strip befitting the debonair style of a Jose Mourinho team. 
Away kit price: £49.99

THIRD KIT
Chelsea's third kit is a rather sombre affair - black with a white trim.
It's quite smart but not as stylish as the home and away shirts - although ten times better than the battery-cum-Tron-cum-sci-fi yellow and black shirts from last season.
The club said: 'The new kit is designed to represent 'the future of football' with sleek matte black-on-black prints lining a mesh panel which allows for optimal ventilation.
'The futuristic design is further complimented by the metallic silver three stripes which run down the sleeves and the black and silver finish to the club badge.'

Crystal Palace

HOME KIT
It's been nine years since we last saw Crystal Palace in the top flight but the Eagles are back with a change of plan (in design at least) as they try to record their first season in the Premier League without getting relegated.
It will be the south London team's fifth attempt and for the first time in the club's history they will play in Blackburn style halves with the traditional club colours of red and blue.
Rather than Blackburn though, it seems to be Barcelona where the most inspiration is taken from. The kit looks very similar to the Spanish club's 2008/09 home shirt, with Palace's yellow trim also sharing similarities with a Barca feature from two years ago.
Overall it's definitely more Nou Camp than Ewood Park in style, even if there is much more chance of Ian Holloway's team visiting Lancashire in the Championship next season than Lionel Messi and Co in Europe.
Home kit price: £42.50
Home kit verdict: 9/10

New era: Crystal Palace have unveiled a new home shirt (left) and a new away strip

AWAY KIT

Not seen since 2007, it's back to black for Palace's away strip which features the increasingly popular River Plate diagonal down the front of the shirt.
It's easy to see why as the stripe looks very neat and features the club's home colours of red and blue - enough to show some loyalty to tradition but not too much as to render a very silly kit clash.
With the bonus of the shirt sponsor taking only a small space adjacent to the new and superbly designed club badge, this is a very smart effort from Avec with the only downside being the natural blandness of a black strip.
Overall, Palace have released two very nice looking kits that will surely go down well with supporters.
Away kit price: TBC
Away kit verdict: 8/10

Everton

HOME KIT
It's the start of a new era at Everton as they prepare for life without David Moyes for the first time since 2002.
The club have even released a new badge, but the new era isn't off to the best start with fan complaints already meaning the badge is likely to be scrapped at the end of the season.
Sadly the the U-turn will come too late to not feature on their new home shirt, which supporters will at least be pleased to know sticks to the familiar concept of a blue shirt with white trim.
In fact maybe it's too familiar - the only changes from last season see a blue hoop on the white sleeves and the addition of a white folded collar...oh and the badge, don't forget the badge.
Home kit cost: £50

Fulham

HOME KIT
New season and new sponsors all round for Fulham, who have swapped Kappa for Adidas and FxPro for bookmakers Marathonbet. 
Fulham have come up with some attractive, simple strips for their Premier League clients this season and Fulham's black and white is about as straightforward as they come. 
There's a black 'v' at the neck and the famous black stripes on the sleeves - and that's about it. Nothing to get too excited about, but the newcomers haven't done anything wrong either. 
Adidas have gone for red stripes on the shorts and socks, which match up with the sponsor's logo. 
Home kit price: £49.99

Hull

HOME KIT
Hull made a rare decision to ditch the stripes on their kit last term and it led to the club gaining promotion to the Premier League for the second time in their history.
After the first time in 2008 the club reverted to stripes for their first top flight campaign and they have done the same for this term.
The strip resembles many of the templates which adidas have used for other top flight sides this season, but it looks good and fans are likely to welcome the drastic changes to the kit despite being similar to other clubs.
Home kit cost: £39.99
Home kit verdict: 7/10

Back at the top: Hull finished runners up in the Championship last season

AWAY KIT
It's not often you get a blue Hull kit but it's making more and more appearances over the years and the colour returns for next season - as it did when the Tigers were relegated in 2010.
Still, we are quite sure that it wasn't the colours that caused Hull to drop back into the Championship after two seasons at the top and this is actually a very good effort from adidas.
Once again it contains a familiar template, but the blue shirts and shorts do look good alongside the red and white trim that features.
The one downside though is the red socks. A little out of place and the strip as a whole would look better with an all blue base. Still, how many of us leave the house wearing the team's full strip?
Away kit cost: £39.99

Liverpool

Staying put? Luis Suarez posed in the new Liverpool strip alongside Steven Gerrard and Pepe Reina

HOME KIT
Made by Warrior, the home kit is the second produced by the American sportswear manufacturer and is based on the club’s 1984 kit – the year Liverpool won their fourth European Cup.

The all-red strip contains subtle changes from this season’s number, with the sleeves and collar now displaying white trim in a strip that is sure to go down well with supporters.
Two embroidered Eternal Flames alongside a 96 logo are located on the nape of the shirt’s neck to commemorate the events at Hillsborough in 1989.
We liked last season's debut home strip from Warrior, but this is even better and nicely compliments the eye-catching passing game that manager Brendan Rodgers has got his Reds' side playing.
Home kit cost: £45
Home kit verdict: 9/10

Past glories: The kit takes inspiration from the strip worn by the European Cup winning side of 1984

AWAY KIT

The main positive about the new Liverpool change shirt is that, presumably, it functions as a shirt should - i.e. it keeps the rain off your back.
Liverpool fans were baffled when Warrior unveiled this effort, with the words 'horrendous,''hideous' and 'ugly' littering the comments section on our site.
One wag even compared it to a game of Space Raiders.
The top part looks quite neat, with the white offset by a red collar and shoulder detail. Unfortunately it does then go a little 1980s Atari with random flecks of red and black spreading south from the sponsor's logo.
The makers say it is a 21st century reboot of the away kit worn between 1989 and 1991, which was a grey abomination.
The purple goalkeeper kit along the same lines could well encourage Pepe Reina in his efforts to move away from Anfield this summer.
Warrior have done well with the home shirt, which does give the updated version of a classic feel, but few Liverpool fans will be splashing out again for this.
Away kit cost: £45
Away kit verdict: 2/10

Not good: Steven Gerrard, Pepe Reina and Luis Suarez model the new Warrior Liverpool away strip

THIRD KIT
Following the shocking offering for the away kit, can Warrior redeem themselves with Liverpool's third strip?
They have partially, with a less baffling design, but the new purple, white and black third kit is hardly going to be a best seller.
According to the launch press release, it takes inspiration from the 1995-1996 away kit - but a bit of research reveals this was a white and green quartered design.
And the fact Liverpool will only wear it in four Premier League away matches, the cup competitions and on the pre-season tour are hardly reasons to shell out £45 either.
The luminous orange third goalkeeper kit will ensure Pepe Reina can be seen for miles around.

Manchester City

Trim: The sky-blue jersey is complete with a navy and white lining

HOME KIT
Following on from England's lead, Manchester City have ditched Umbro and switched to Nike in a deal worth £72million over six years.
But unlike the Three Lions and their 'German' strip, at least this kit won't be mistaken for their rivals, Manchester United, as this number is traditional sky blue with white and navy trim.
The deposed Premier League champions said of their new home kit: 'The kit pays homage to City’s heritage while reflecting the future. The shirt is a classic football design, and unmistakably City, featuring a sky blue body with a white ribbed crew neck and cuffs. 
'The collar and cuffs also feature a dark blue trim to represent the colour of the socks City wore as a part of one of their first ever kits in 1892. Weighing only 150 grams, and made from recycled polyester, it is the lightest shirt Nike has ever produced.'
The club crest has been embroidered inside the shield shape to pay tribute to the Manchester coat of arms and inside the neck, the words 'Pride in Battle' are stitched, the translation of the club motto Superbia in Proelio.
Nike's kit is a conservative start but it looks great and proves sometimes simplicity is best. The one downside though is the ridiculously expensive price.

AWAY KIT

City have gone back to their roots for their new away strip. The club have chosen black to honour Gorton AFC, and have given a nod to Ardwick AFC with the two-tone style.
The club was formed as St Mark’s in 1880 before becoming Gorton in 1884 and Ardwick in 1887.
It’s a sleek design and the gold trim is a nice touch. The shirt comes with a neat grandfather collar and the all-black kit is certain to be imposing for their opposition.
Unlike the matt effect on the Umbro kits from the last couple of seasons, the Nike kits look slightly shiny and didn’t look as breathable in the post- and pre-season friendlies. It’s expensive too.
Price: £55
Verdict: 8/10

Manchester United

New era: Manchester United will enter a new chapter under David Moyes in this classic Nike home shirt

HOME KIT
The King is dead. Long live the King.
The upturned collar, made famous by the swaggering Eric Cantona in the nineties, will be making a comeback at Old Trafford this coming season.
Nike's latest home shirt is clean and classic, with the black buttoned-down collar a feature which chimes with that particularly successful chapter in United's history.
The gingham - critics prefer 'tea towel' - fabric of last season has been replaced with the usual plain red, with a two-button neck giving it a casual, polo shirt feel.
Nike say the kit has been inspired by Manchester's booming cotton mills of the Industrial Revolution. It's an odd claim seeing as the shirt will certainly by polyester, but that won't put off United's legions of fans worldwide updating their wardrobe despite the higher-than-average £55 pricetag.
With the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson and the start of the David Moyes era, United are looking to the future. But this shirt has a nice nod to the past as well.
Home kit price: £55
Home kit verdict: 9/10

AWAY KIT

United's away kit is a reference to the city's industrial heritage as it displays the iconic gingham check, also used on last season's home shirt but with a bolder design.
It is also very similar to Manchester City's new away kit, as well as Chelsea, so get used to seeing plenty of this colour throughout the season.
The new kit showcases Nike's commitment to aiding the performance of players with some technological benefits.

Newcastle

HOME KIT
Newcastle fans would run a riot if they ever changed from their traditional black and white stripes, but it doesn't mean they can't spice it up once in a while.
Putting the Wonga saga to one side for a minute and you will notice the hints of blue running down giving it another dimension.
They have opted for a rather strange addition on the collar, with two small white lines. But overall, Puma appear to have succeeded at keeping with the norm as well as freshening the strip up.

Colour: Newcastle's new home kit adds a touch of blue on the stripes

Home kit cost: TBC
Home kit verdict: 7/10
AWAY KIT
We've seen Newcastle release some horrendous away strips in years gone by (who could forget the cream-cracker effort from 2009/10?), but under Puma the Toon have started to turn out in respectable numbers.
Next season's away kit continues that trend, with a fetching navy blue design complimented well by light blue trim.
The only downside is for the first time it will have a giant Wonga logo on the front, a sponsor that has proved controversial with sections of supporters.
Wonga are not going away any time soon but a positive for the kit is the colour scheme of the sponsor blends well into the strip - it could be worse Toon fans.
Away kit cost: £44.99
Away kit verdict: 7/10

Sponsor: Ashley has also received hefty criticism for bringing in loan company Wonga next season

Norwich

Game for a laugh: Bradley Johnson, Robert Snodgrass, Russell Martin and John Ruddy challenge the youngsters (below) to a game

HOME KIT
New kit, bright future and fresh hope. Norwich defied many expectations to comfortably beat relegation after Chris Hughton took over from the successful Paul Lambert, and now they have much to look forward to.
The Canaries' defeated Chelsea to win the FA Youth Cup but an even younger generation look set for Carrow Road stardom.
Kit makers Errea are in their third season supplying Hughton's outfit and to celebrate the release of their new strip, the Italian designers produced a highly amusing promotional video showing the youth of today running rings around top stars such as John Ruddy and Bradley Johnson.
It's a tidy effort from Errea, who have made big changes to the kit with added green, but it's simple enough to remain easy on the eye. After all, no one wants a repeat of the awful design from 1992-1994.
Home kit cost: £45
Home kit verdict: 7/10

 

Norwich City launch promo video for new kit

AWAY KIT

Having spent two relatively comfortable years in the top flight, Norwich have pushed the boat out this summer to kick on and start challenging for a top 10 spot by breaking their club transfer record.

Ricky van Wolfswinkel has arrived from Sporting Lisbon and the Canaries have thrown the striker straight into marketing by getting the Dutchman to advertise their smart new away strip.

Norwich have warned the rest of the Premier League to be afraid of the big bad wolf (see what they did there?) pictured in the new away kit, but the Canaries better hope Van Wolfswinkel improves their away form following just two top flight victories on the road last term.

On to the kit itself, the design from Errea is exactly the same as the new home strip - and that's no bad thing. The white change kit is back after a two-year absence and is complimented well by the black sleeves. Very neat from the Carrow Road outfit.

Southampton

Stripeless: Southampton unveiled their first adidas strips, one of which being an all-red home kit

HOME KIT
Saints fans will be looking forward to a first full season in charge for boss Mauricio Pochettino, and some have tipped for them for a push for Europe after some promising displays towards the end of the season.

The famous thick stripes disappeared on last year's shirt, and unfortunately for traditional fans the only stripes to be seen on this kit are those of new sponsor adidas.
While the design is similar to that of Swanea's stylish kit of last season, Southampton fans aren't happy about the strip, with 59% of them voting against buying it on a club forum and posting 'Save Our Stripes'
The campaign 'all in for Southampton FC' seems to be trying to get fans onside, and while it's not a bad looking kit, points have to be lost for failing to save the stripes of the club and disappointing fans.
Home kit cost: £50
Home kit verdict: 6/10

Are you all in? The new home kit may upset Saints fans

AWAY KIT

While the home kit may not live up to expectations, the fierce black design of the away kit should win fans back over.
It doesn't look like Southampton, but boy, does it look smart.
With an all black top with a stylish white V showcasing the adidas brand, supporters on the south coast will be much happier with this shirt, though a price hasn't been disclosed yet.

Fans will hope it's a bit cheaper.

Smart: Southampton's black away kit should win many admirers

Stoke

HOME KIT
Nothing too different here from adidas, in fact there is hardly anything different at all.
Admittedly there isn't too much that can be done with a strict red and white stripe template but to only switch the stripe order and add a white collar is a little bit cheeky from the German manufacturer and now quite an old trick in the book.
So while the strip scores zero for originality, it does at least keep to traditions of having stripes on the front and back - the latter a glaring omission from the 2010/11 home kit.
It's more of the same then for Stoke, with the added bonus of a collar.
Home kit cost £45
Home kit verdict: 6/10

More of the same? Stoke's new home kit looks very similar to last season's

AWAY KIT
It's been a very low-key season for Stoke who have spent most of the campaign playing an efficient brand of football that has once again seen them beat relegation, but where do the club go from here?
Mark Hughes' men have spent the majority of their five years in the top flight hovering around lower mid-table but could be set to cause a shock next season...well, maybe away from home anyway.
The club have released a new away strip alongside the slogan 'Stoke Electri-City', with the striking black shirt with fluorescent yellow and white trim featuring the specially-adapted 150th anniversary club badge and 1863-2013 dateline on the back.
We're not too sure where the electric side comes into it, but even if it does look slightly like a goalkeeper's jersey, something has to have the players fully charged ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Sunderland

HOME KIT
Like the Stoke home strip, the only real change from last season is the order on the shirt in which the red and white stripes appear.
There are a couple of subtle differences though, mainly the slightly odd design of the v-neck and the addition of extra white to the sleeves.
It's a conservative approach from adidas which doesn't provide too many thrills but neither does it constitute a fashion disaster.
Home kit cost: £45
Home kit verdict: 7/10

Improvements: With a new kit and manager, Sunderland will hope to climb the table next term

AWAY KIT
After a turbulent campaign last time out, Sunderland will hope to avoid another scrap against relegation as they go into the new season under the watch of recently appointed boss Paolo Di Canio.
They will do so in a new away kit too with the club going with the unfamiliar colours of yellow when they travel away from the Stadium of Light.
It hasn't been seen since a very dark shade appeared on the club's shirts in the 1998 play-off defeat to Charlton, but the club have helped remind fans of better memories by releasing the shirt in front of a background of famous away victories.
As for the kit itself, adidas have gone radical with their choice of colour for an away kit and it looks good against navy blue trim.
However the flash of red slightly tarnishes the strip and makes it look more like a goalkeeper's jersey. If it is a nod to Sunderland's home colours, it could have been done better.

HOME KIT

Another adidas kit for Michael Laudrup's team, as they announced their largest kit sponsor of their 101-year history.
Following an excellent 2012-2013 season, which saw them finish in the top half of the Premier League and win the Capital One Cup, Swansea will be hoping for more of the same next year.
The club looked very stylish in their centenary year last year with the gold trim, and have gone back to black with a new Chinese sponsor.
It's not worked that well on most kits but the black doesn't look too bad on the Jacks' home shirt - though the sponsor doesn't actually look great on it.

AWAY KIT

Well what do we have here? Am ambition of colour and design has seen adidas put together this away strip which at the very least means you won't get lost in a crowd much wearing it.
You may get a few strange looks though. The combination of purple and yellow is going to take a bit of getting used to and that's before the slightly odd arrangement on the front of the shirt.
Given that it is an away kit, normal rules go out of the window but this is more miss than hit from adidas.

Tottenham

Here for now: Bale poses with Kyle Walker, Jan Vertonghen and Hugo Lloris

HOME KIT
We have seen many clubs look back to previous decades from the 1980s backwards in search of inspiration behind designing a new strip.
And officially it's no different for Spurs who claim their new Under Armour kit (the second under the American designers) is a classic take on their 1960s numbers where the navy shorts were as dark as they had ever been.
But not many Spurs fans will need reminding that it is in fact like the 1990s all over again, as Hewlett Packard are back to sponsor the club for the first time since 1999.
It's a very classy home strip but the HP logo while looking an off putting shade of blue is also a little big on the kit and slightly ruins an otherwise great design.
Home kit cost: £48
Home kit verdict: 8/10

Nod to the past: Tottenham will wear HP on their shirt for the first time since 1999

AWAY KIT

Blue has always been a traditional away colour for Spurs and usually when the club include it, it does make for a nice away strip.
This year is no exception, with the colour officially called capri dominating the away kit and likely to go down well with fans who caused severe delays on the club website trying to pre-order both home and away shirts that were revealed on the same day.

Once again the big HP logo is a slight blemish on a kit design that contains fancy design patterns in its stitching. But unlike the home kit, the HP logo shares the same colour as the strip's trim and does little to tarnish a fine away strip.

West Brom

Past and present: West Brom unveiled their new home strip using players from the past and present

HOME KIT

As is the standard practice with many new adidas strips this season, the new home shirt's only significant change from last term is the swapping of the stripe order on the kit.
But helping current day stars Shane Long and James Morrison release the new shirt were former fan favourites, Tony ‘Bomber’ Brown, ‘Super Bob' Taylor and Ally Robertson.
Apart from looking the same as the away kit - minus the colour difference - it's a tidy strip at the very least and one which fans are likely to give the thumbs up.

Small changes: West Brom's new strip is similar to last season's kit worn by the Baggies

The new Rossoneri? West Brom will wear an away kit similar in style to AC Milan next term

AWAY KIT
A second-half of the season slump eventually saw West Brom's push for a European spot run out of steam last season, but there is something slightly continental about their new away strip.
We've seen the Baggies run out in black kits and red strips in the past, but the two combine this year as Steve Clarke's team will take to the pitch at certain away grounds looking more like AC Milan than the Midlands side.
It's not exactly the most stylish kit made by adidas but neither is it tacky and fans are sure to take well to a vastly different design than seen on past away strips.

West Ham United

HOME KIT

The first Hammers kits to be released by Adidas since the 1980s, the sleeves and collar details are a lighter blue than usual. 
The trademark Adidas stripes only extend part-way down the sleeve.
Overall, with a smart looking white collar to bring out the main claret colours, Adidas have made a fine first effort. 
The new club sponsor is Alpari, a global foreign exchange broker.

AWAY KIT
Replacing last season's light blue alternative, West Ham will have a new white away kit for 2013-2014, which eagle-eyed fans have been quick to point out looks similar to the 1984-1985 change kit.
The stripes, collar and under-arm details are a kind of claret colour, while there is a thin pinstripe visible.
It has a nice retro feel to it and Adidas have clearly paid attention to classic designs of their last last association with West Ham in the creative process.
There are also rumours of a navy blue third kit for the season ahead.
